The next morning, when we were still cradled to sleep, suddenly we were startled by a loud siren sound. I was startled too and I slowly open the zip tent. I peeked out and saw the others were running around and hurriedly getting ready.
After a few minutes, I heard the voice of someone asking us all to get up quickly and gather outside in five minutes. He shouted loudly from outside. After hearing that, I quickly told Lexi to get up. I shook his body but she was still not awake.
''Lexi!! Wake up! We have to get up right now!'' I shouted. At the same time, I hurriedly got ready and I randomly pick a sweater beside me. After a second, Lexi awakes too. After getting ready, both of us get out of our tent instantly.
But...the things that happen were not as our plan. We both were late!
As soon as we arrived there, all the eyes were looking directly at us. We both just standing stiffly there. I can see Andrew secretly give his hand signal at his head telling that both of us gonna die.
Both I and Lexi just keep looking at each other nervously and we just remain silent beside there. Then, Brent slowly walks toward us. This time, I can tell that his face was really in a serious way. I think, this morning...he will be the one who leads our first activities.
He standing in front of us with his stern face. Both of us just lowered our heads and of course, we didn't dare to look at his face.
''I will give you two a punishment because you're late! So, today all of you will take three-round running. But for Lexi and Lilian, you two will take five-round running.''
I and Lexi was shocked. Anyway, we had to follow his order as he is our president.
''Go, runs now!'' He shouts.
After hearing his command, all of us immediately start running. For today, I can see a different side of Brent. He was a little fierce and cold this morning. I wondering if he has a dual personality or more than this.
After the students left for their running, Grey comes closer to Brent. He spoke to him. ''Hey, did you have to do that with our junior? There was a girl.''
''So? What's the problem?''
''I know that we have to teach them about punctuality, but not this way. We can make other punishments. Like washing the dishes or cooking for us for these few days.''
''It's too light punishment.''
''Yeah, I agreed too with Grey!'' Rianna suddenly barges in. ''Or...did you purposely do this...?'' Rianna said while looking at Brent suspiciously.
''What do you mean, Rianna?''
''Ask himself.'' Rianna chuckles.
''Shut up!'' Brent said softly but firmly.
Grey was in a puzzle. He had to wait there and await their arrival. While Darren and Stefan lead the running with the freshie.
After half an hour, all the freshie was finished their morning run but not Lexi and Lilian. They had to wait for them to finish their run too. Besides that, the other team was prepared the food for their breakfast.
Then, after a few hours, Lexi and Lilian still haven't back yet. Andrew noticed that they both haven't returned yet, he immediately informed their senior. He is very worried about them.
''Senior Darren, Lexi, and Lilian haven't come back yet. Can we look out for them?''
''What? They still didn't back yet? Wait.'' Darren immediately goes to find Grey. He then saw Grey was there too. He thought that Grey was with them.
''Grey! Are you here all the time? Did you not follow Lilian and Lexi?''
''What are you talking about? I thought you were the one who was with them. I didn't see you before.''
''No. I'm just here too. I'm with the other to find out the woods.'' Both Darren and Grey were confused. It turns out that both of them didn't go with them. Andrew feels angry and he yells at both of his seniors.
''Just enough! We have to go there and find out about them! If there is anything that happens to them, I will complain about all of you!'' Andrew shouted in anger.
Stefan and Rianna come runs toward them after hearing the quarrel between them.
''What happened?'' Stefan asks.
''Lexi and Lilian lost! They both haven't returned yet!'' Andrew replied.
''What? Darren, Grey, are you two didn't check on them?''
''I thought that Grey was with them...and Grey thought that I was with them...but...!'' Darren replied. Both Grey and Darren feel guilty.
Stefan deep sighing. ''What are you two doing? Don't you have to make sure all of them must come back together?''
While they were in the conversation, suddenly Brent appeared from behind. He looks at them with curiosity. ''What happened here? Why are you all looking tense?'' Brent said
''This is because of you!'' Andrew suddenly move forward and punched Brent in the face.
''Andrew, calm down! We will gonna find out of them.''
''What happened?'' Brent still didn't know what really happened.
''Lilian and Lexi are still not back yet since the morning run,'' Rianna said.
Brent was surprised. He thought that they already come back. Then, he looks directly at Darren and Grey. He looks at both of them with a sharp glare. Both of them lowered their head and they know that Brent was really angry when he gave that stare.
''Stefan, Rianna please stay here with the others. You two come with me to find them.'' Brent said in a fierce voice.
''I want to follow two!'' Andrew said.
''No. You can't. We will go find them. This is our responsibility.'' Brent said. Then, three of them left out from there and went to look out for Lilian and Lexi.
*****
When three of them were already out from that site, all of sudden...Brent, Grey, and Darren gather and make a circle. They close their eyes for a second and at that time, there was a light coming out from their body.
After doing that, both Darren and Grey immediately go the other way. They just know the whereabouts, Lexi. It looks like both Lexi and Lilian were separated. After Darren and Grey go to the other way to save Lexi, Brent goes to the other side way to find Lilian.
On the other side, Lexi was alone somewhere. She actually waiting for Lilian to come back to her again because her legs were sprinkled. She cannot walk and Lilian goes out to asks for help.
After that, while Lexi waiting there with her tears, she finally sees both Darren and Grey appeared there.
''Seniors!!'' She shouts out loud. She shed tears after seeing them.
''Lexi! Are you okay?'' Darren ask.
''My...my legs...'' She said in a trembling voice.
''It's okay, we help you. Come, Let's go.''
Meanwhile, Lilian was on the there place. Actually, she was lost. She cant remember the way and she was stuck somewhere. She also doesn't know where the place she has been.
She just sitting under the tree alone. She just hopes that they will come there and save her. She believes that someone will go there and save her. She worried too about Lexi. She hopes that her friend will in a good condition.
At that time, the weather was so cold. Luckily, she uses a thick sweater. Suddenly, she chuckles. It turns out the sweater she wears is belong to Brent. She smiling and she softly kisses the sweater at the arm parts.
She smells his sweater and enjoys the fragrance in the sweater...
Like a flash, Brent already knows where is Lilian has been. He already arrived at her place. From afar, he saw Lilian was sitting under the tree. He finally feels relief. He just smiles to see her from afar. He just thought that she is maybe scared or crying there but it turns out that she happily sitting under the tree.
He slowly walks toward her and he already stands in front of her. Lilian was surprised to see him there. She didnt expect that Brent will find him there and even though he loves to see him there... she actually sulking at him.
Before this, both Lilian and Lexi were badmouthed about him because of the punishment. But, she can't resist the temptation because he is in front of him. She sulks at him but her heart easily wavers when he close to her.
''Are you okay?'' Brent asks gently. He gazes at her eyes for a second.
''Okay.'' She replied and look away.
Brent grin. He knows that she was sulk at him. Then, he slowly leans closer to her. He stroke her hair softly. Gaze into her eyes deeply...'' I'm sorry...'' He said in a low soft voice.
Lilian was shocked to hear that and at the same time, her heart beating faster. Her body was frozen and she gripped her finger tightly.
''Lilian...! Please hold yourself. Please don't fall into his gentle side...'' She mumbling inside her heart.
''I'm sorry...I didn't mean to...!''
''Stop!!'' Lilian shouts. ''Puff! Can we go back now? I'm so hungry! When I'm hungry...I-I...I...can eat human too!''
''Oh...if like that, I'm safe. I'm not human.''
''Huh?? What??''
''Okay, let us go.'' He smirked.
''Argh! He is really annoying! He really didn't know that I was sulk! I was sulk because of you!'' She mumbling.
''Are you saying something?''
''No!''
''Are you mad?''
''No!''
''But I can feel that you tried to release your anger at me.''
''No! I don't dare. After all, I'm your junior and you are the President of the Student Council so...I guess...I have no right to do that to you.''
He burst into laughter. He can't believe that Lilian was giving the answer like that. Lilian just looking at him with a mad face. She frowning.
''You're so full of surprised, Lilian.''
''What do you mean by that?''
''Nothing, Let us go quickly. I'm worried that you will eat me later.''
''You...!!''
At that moment, their heart gradually becomes closer. Even though they tried to pull and push with their heart, they still have that bond between them and that special bond of relationship will gradually make them know each other. Closer and closer.
